(a) Use a stainless steel column (15 cm \u00d7 4.6 mm) packed with end-capped octadecylsilyl silica gel for chromatography (3 \u03bcm) (YMC Pack Pro C18 is suitable).<\/p>\n

(b) Use gradient elution and the mobile phase described below.<\/p>\n

(c) Use a flow rate of 1.0 mL per minute.<\/p>\n

(d) Use a column temperature of 38\u00b0.<\/p>\n

(e) Use a detection wavelength of 294 nm.<\/p>\n

(f) Inject 10 \u03bcL of each solution.<\/p>\n

MOBILE PHASE<\/p>\n

Mobile phase A: 16 volumes of acetonitrile and 84 volumes of solution B.<\/p>\n
